Chapter Thirty-Eight, Classmates
Zheng Sen, who returned to the Hong clan study, immediately became the target of his classmates. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoBecause even in later generations, although everyone doesn't know how much they have watched war movies, things like battlefield experiences are still very attractive, even if they are used far away. Border. Not. Person. The machine guides the artillery, and there are a large number of people who are willing to watch. Not to mention the ancient times when entertainment was very poor?
So, when it was time to rest, a group of children gathered around.
"Arsen, I heard that you followed your father to the battlefield? Don't know what pirates look like? One asked.
"Ah Sen, I see that in the battles in "Three Kingdoms", each of them will come out with a general first. Is it the same when fighting at sea? The other asked.
"Asen Asen, how many pirates did you kill?" There are even more people who ask like this.
Zheng Sen had no choice but to answer these childish questions from the little dolls who were classmates with him. Although Zheng Sen, who has the soul of an adult in his head, is honestly a little out of place with these children, Zheng Sen is still very serious about building a good relationship with them, and even sometimes plays those seemingly childish games with them. This is not only because Zheng Sen wants to pretend to be a child, but also because Zheng Sen needs to win over these classmates. In the future, when competing in the world, what is most important is, of course, talent. Of course, Zheng Sen knew that among his classmates, none of them were very famous in later generations. But you can't set the standard of talent so high, in this era, being able to read can be regarded as talent. At the very least, there are a lot of specific things that need to be done by literate people. And the classmate is one of the so-called three irons in life, which is relatively more reliable. So although their questions were still very naΓ―ve, Zheng Sen was still very patient to answer their questions one by one, and at this time, Zheng Sen even had the illusion of being a primary school teacher.
The good thing is that the time to rest always passes quickly. "What are you doing! Don't go to Wen Shu yet! With a broken drink, Mr. Wang appeared at the door of the classroom with a ring ruler in his hand.
So the bear children immediately dispersed, Mr. Wang also walked in front of Zheng Sen very seriously, and said with a shake of his beard: "Zheng Sen, you have delayed a lot of classes for a while, and now you are back, and you are still catching up day and night, but you are still talking and laughing with others, you are really ignorant, and you are angry with the old man!" β
If you want to refute Mr. Wang, Zheng Sen can naturally find a reason, but this is disrespectful to the teacher, so Zheng Sen immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "What Mr. criticized is that Zheng Sen is indeed too undeserved." It's just that I haven't seen these classmates for a few months, and I forgot about it for a while. β
"You know, it's still buildable. Have you seriously reviewed what you've learned in the past few months? After school, after dinner, you come to me, I want to test you well! Mr. Wang nodded and said.
Hearing this, Hong Shilong, who was sitting behind Mr. Wang, made a grimace at Zheng Sen. Zheng Sen knew that this was not malicious, but just an expression of concern. This Hong Shilong is the son of Hong Chengjiao, when it comes to his talent for reading, he is actually not bad, but like his father, he has a wide range of interests and too many distractions, but his reading performance is not very outstanding. It is said that Hong Chengjian was very annoyed by this, and one day he saw his son put a piece of paper on the embroidered "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and traced the Qin Shubao Wei Chi Gong or something, so he was furious and angrily accused his son of not doing his job properly and losing his mind as a plaything. Hong Shilong defended: "I just memorized the Analects for half a day, just a little rest. Hong Chengjian said: "Then you recite two sentences to me!" So Hong Shilong recited: "Zi said: 'His body is upright, and he does not obey orders, and his body is not right, although he does not obey orders.'" With Hong Chengji, his face was suddenly flushed and he couldn't speak.
Because of his wide range of interests and his liking of all kinds of strange things, Hong Shilong also has special admiration for Zheng Sen, who seems to know everything and is super knowledgeable, and among these classmates, he has the closest relationship with Zheng Sen. But this guy is a bit heartless, and sometimes he gloates when he sees his buddy's little bad luck.
"Sir, I see." Zheng Sen hurriedly replied.
When school ended in the afternoon, Zheng Sen wanted to go back to dinner first, so he went out with Hong Shilong. Along the way, Hong Shilong continued to ask about some things about the naval battle.
"Shilong, are you so interested in fighting?" Zheng Sen asked.
"Of course, the story of the war is the most fun." Hong Shilong replied, "Moreover, although my uncle is a civilian official, he is in charge of many generals, and he is also very good at fighting." Obviously, at this time, Hong Chengchou is still the idol in Hong Shilong's heart.
"Governor Hong is naturally a man who marches and fights." Zheng Sen also said. This is not against his will, although Hong Chengchou later became a traitor, in Zheng Sen's expectation, this person will be one of his great enemies in the future, but if you only talk about military ability and knowledge, Hong Chengchou is very top in the Ming Dynasty, and even later in the Manchu Dynasty.
"My father said that you will not be worse than my uncle in the future." Hong Shilong said, "He asked me to learn from you." I've already figured out that next time you're going to fight pirates, you'll have to take me to learn. Also, have you been reading books for a while? Mr. Wang is good to you, don't look at him scolding you every day, but he values you, if you don't behave well, he will be very sad. β
"That's not what your father told you, right?" Zheng Sen said with a smile.
"Not really, I see it myself. I can still see who is really good to others. Asen, look at my father, every time he sees me, he straightens his face and talks to me, at least five out of ten sentences are scolding me. But I know that my father is bent on being good to me, and he wants me to get rid of those faults and become a talent. It's just that Asen, you also know, I have a problem that I can't control myself, but I still know what to do. For example, Mr. Wang, he is also good to me, but that is for my father's sake. For example, if I make the same mistake as you, Mr. Wang will definitely scold you, but not necessarily me, because he values you more. If the mistake is a little bigger, Mr. Wang will just scold me, but when he scolds you, he can shake his beard angrily. If you don't really treat you well, can you make the mistake you made like this? β
Zheng Sen looked at Hong Shilong with a little surprise, this guy who seemed to be heartless seemed to be a little unsimple.
"I haven't put down my homework during this time, I should be able to pass the test, and I won't be angry with my husband." Zheng Sen replied.
β¦β¦
Mr. Wang took several questions of Zheng Sen in a row, and Zheng Sen answered them one by one. Mr. Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Asen, you are not bad, and you know that you can't throw away the book when you go back." Well, I heard that you went back to the battlefield this time? β
"Not at the time of the decisive battle. Later, after the victory was decided, and our army had already won, my father took me to the battlefield to see it. It's just that at that time, the victory or defeat had been decided, and when the Haikou saw our army raising the flag, they only knew that they would flee from the wind, and our army pursued with victory. Although the results were abundant, the enemy had no will to fight, but there was no fierce battle. The students only saw from a distance that the pirates' boats were caught up by us, and then several boats surrounded them, and then the cannons bombarded, and the pirates either died or surrendered. So the students did not encounter any danger. β
"If it's really dangerous, your father probably won't let you go to war at such a young age." Mr. Wang smiled and said, "It's rare to have such an opportunity, do you have anything to gain?" β
"Naturally, students have something to learn. He knew that the student came from a military general's family, and that the student had heard many times about the war, especially the naval battle, from his father and uncles. Although I didn't say it before, I still felt that my understanding of this war was much better than those who watched "Three Kingdoms" and "The Popular Romance of Sui and Tang Chronicles". How do I know that after I participated in it this time, I realized that the matter of fighting a war is different from what I heard from other people's mouths. Not to mention the previous decisive battle with the Dutch, it was a relatively easy chase to chase the north later, in fact, there were a lot of things that I didn't know before, unfamiliar with, the sea is vast, and a little bit of a bad pool may let the pirates escape. Students feel that if they only hear about things in the world but do not practice them, they do not know the truth. β
When Mr. Wang heard this, he stretched out his hand to hold his beard and said with a smug smile: "If you can say this, it can be seen that the virtue industry has made progress again." Not bad, not bad! The Master said, 'To know is to know, and not to know is to know, and to know is to know.' This may seem simple, but it is not. The most difficult thing for people is self-knowledge, and many times, many mistakes come from the fact that the person who made the mistake thinks he knows everything, but in fact he doesn't know anything. To know that you don't know a lot of things is a big improvement. Well, hearing you say this, the old man is even happier than seeing you answer the questions one by one. β
After a pause, Mr. Wang said again: "Zheng Sen, your family is a military general, although you will go through the literary path in the future, but my civil officials of the Ming Dynasty also need to know martial affairs." Many of my famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty are also proficient in military affairs, such as Yu Shaobao, and some of them are more proximity, such as Mr. Yangming, who is not only a Confucian of the Kuang Dynasty, but also proficient in military affairs. The same is true for Governor Hong. If there are many things going on today, it is also very useful for you to pay more attention and understand some martial arts. Your father arranged for you to go to the battlefield when the danger was not too high, and he was also good at teaching his son. Well, Asen, some of my friends are also interested in this battle, if you don't have anything to do, just tell me about this battle? β
